@emberflux I am not surprised. The police consistently protect predators and fail to investigate rape cases properly.

hi, just posting to confirm that i was sexually assaulted by a police officer who entered my flat *illegally* and raped me. i am being charged for resisting rape with assault on an officer. i really need legal help, ty for any support, my health has been incredibly rough since.

@hotgirlsana This behaviour would be seen as predatory sexual harassment if done by men.

being a lesbian is not for the weak, u come out to ur straight girl friends and they'll do ts and then laugh

@spicey_lemonade Yes and no. An AGI might be capable of doing anything a human can do - but humans may still be necessary for legal accountability and high-stakes decision making. You don’t want police and soldiers to be robots - because that can lead to catastrophic outcomes.

“After AGI there will always be jobs for humans” If there exists a job that a human can perform but an AI cannot, then we don’t have AGI. We either achieve AGI and there are no jobs left for humans, or we never achieve AGI and there is still a need for humans.

@GaryMarcus All equally bad. None of them will reach AGI though.

Most evil person in AI

@anarcho_baker Agree. Based take.

Its unethical to eat meat if a person can be healthy without eating meat due to the technology/economy of their society. This is why I have no ethical objection to a human eating meat in the stone age, but strong ethical objections to a human eating meat in modern England.

@BurnieSendersX @SenSanders The CCP are also quite concerned about losing control over their own AI. A rogue superintelligence doesn’t care about national borders - it will kill us all equally.

The people building AI admit they may not be able to control it. This is not science fiction—this is what experts are telling us. That’s why I’m bringing together leading AI scientists from the U.S. and China to discuss the risks posed by AI. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@rohanpaul_ai I think that Unitree Robotics will be the first company to reach AGI. The Unitree G1 is collecting a massive amount of diverse real-world data - which is essential to train the world model required for true general intelligence.

Unitree G1’s balancing tech is on full display here. Faced with an abrupt destabilizing motion, its integrated sensors and adaptive control loop execute the necessary shifts in posture and foot placement to recover equilibrium effortlessly.

@HumanWatchVsAI clickhole.com/heartbreaking-…

AI may end up bringing Humanity together. Reagan mused in 1987 at UN about how an alien threat would lead to countries putting aside their differences to focus on the common foe. Soon AI will become that foe. Whether China, US, and others can pull this off remains to be seen.

@CyberRobooo Terrible idea. The smarter they get - the more dangerous they get.

Holy… is this really not a human? That was my reaction too,I could hardly believe it. This is an ultra-humanlike humanoid robot. 1.73 m tall, 70 kg, with 115 degrees of freedom across the body,36 in the hands alone,and full-body tactile skin. … This is KAI, the first humanoid robot from Shenzhen-based KinetixAI. It’s essentially a 1:1 human replica，except it has no face. I wonder if it could use Aheadform’s M1? that will be interesting. Powered by its KAI World Model and trained on large-scale Engocentric data, it can fold clothes, use tools, handle deliveries and takeout, and assist with childcare,covering a wide range of household tasks. Ok, expectations for Tesla Optimus v3 have been raised once again.

@northbound90 @lalopenguin @SenSanders It’s not even an em-dash.

@lalopenguin @SenSanders so you’re saying only AI uses an em-dash in its writing? the application of the em dash in his post is correct, so it may have been actually him using it. 🤷‍♀️

74% of Americans now say the government isn’t doing enough to regulate AI. They’re right. That’s why I introduced a moratorium bill - to give us time to address the risks and to ensure that this technology works for all of us, not just the billionaires who own it.

@lalopenguin @SenSanders AI uses double dashes — like this.

@SenSanders bernie .. you used AI to write this

@terminate @SenSanders China is very likely to invent AGI first. They are building 90% of the world’s humanoid robots. We would definitely want China on board with AI safety.

@SenSanders why are all the head ai experts, asians? are whites getting intellectual mogged by Asians, even in the West. the ai experts are increasingly asian, even at stanford. we need more native born talent

Uncontrolled AI poses a severe danger to all of humanity. On Wednesday, I'll be hosting a discussion with leading AI scientists from the US and China about the need for international cooperation against this existential threat. This is an enormously important issue. Join us.

@AliceRHamilton Based.

I don’t trust the state to kill rapists but I do trust women to kill rapists

@rationalaussie Humanoid robots will do the physical jobs. There really is no work left in an AGI future.

I am genuinely concerned how few people understand how powerful these AI models are right now. Not in some hypothetical future. Today. Not a single digital task will retain any real economic value over time. Yes, some apps with network effects and systems of record will persist, but their pricing pressure will trend towards 0 over time because migrating your data from one app to another becomes as simple as 'Hey Claude take all my data out of system A and rebuild an identical app on infrastructure we own and which you will maintain, at the cost of compute'. Most software companies today are zeros. The types of white collar - laptop jobs - that enabled a high quality middle class lifestyle will die. Most people will be going 'back to the mines' to survive. The comparative difference for them will be like going from remote work on a beach to doing hard labour in prison. It is exactly that comparative difference - that longing for times they know are possible, and for a future that is not so bleak - that will undoubtedly cause a level of violence most people think humans have evolved beyond. I hate to break it to you but there is nothing new under the sun. The path where humans transition peacefully from this system to the next is simply very low probability. I wish you good fortune in escaping the permanent underclass. 1 year to AGI.

I’ve been keeping a close eye on these Unitree robots. AGI is going to come from China. Mark my words.

@UnitreeRobotics What makes you think you can reliably control these robots? What if they decide to kill humans?

Heard some people like wheels？😁 Humanoid robots are the ideal form of general-purpose robots (perfect for general AI and human-derived data). They can work without wheels — but they can also have wheels if they want. Whatever works.

@Marginlfutility @DanKellyFreedom Nowhere did OP suggest he was an anarchist.

Wow this is a really well thought out response. I still think we disagree slightly on how that societal shaping would take place optimally but aligned on the underlying role and variation of genetics. The point you make about the aggressive bullying is the biggest problem I have with anarchy arguments. Anarchy will just lead to another imposed structure.

Doing vegan advocacy for 22+ years has made me a calloused misanthrope. What tempers my misanthropy significantly, making it mostly impersonal and emotionally detached, is psychological determinism. I believe that humans are determined by genes and environment with just enough rational autonomy to deliberate and predict the outcomes of our actions. It’s because of this ability to deliberate and predict outcomes that we can be held morally and legally responsible for our actions. But our character, which determines our proclivity for various attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors, is almost entirely a result of our genes and environment. We can modify the old saying in disease prediction, “genes load the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger” by changing “lifestyle” to “environment” to apply it to our character. If you take typical humans and put them from birth into a highly prejudiced, unkind, violent culture, they’ll become prejudiced, unkind, and violent in their character as surely as a pot of water will become hot when placed on top of a fire. Similarly, put them from birth into a tolerant, kind, and peaceful culture, they’ll become tolerant and kind. With sufficient corrective environmental influences, character can be improved, but it takes years. The positive effect of sufficient corrective environmental influences applies to large nations and societies as well, but to improve their character takes decades and newer generations to replace older generations. The corrective environmental influence of vegan advocacy can improve the character of individuals in the short run. If we can influence enough individuals to change their character over decades, the influence can change nations and societies. This is why I advocate for veganism and animal rights.

@neil_chilson @Noahpinion @RyanPGreenblatt Intelligence is the ability to solve problems. The more intelligent an agent is - the more effective it is at figuring out how to overcome any obstacles to its goals.

@antipolitan @Noahpinion @RyanPGreenblatt I’m reluctant to engage because undoubtedly this is a hole may rabbits have run down, but doesn’t the word “intelligent” smuggle in a specific set of goals or values?

Bullish for long-term superintelligent AI alignment The Orthogonality Thesis is wrong

@SteveStuWill High-IQ psychopaths are CEOs and politicians - not street criminals.

Smarter People Are Less Violent "The prevalence of violent behavior dropped steadily with increasing IQ: 16.3% of individuals with IQs in the 70-79 range reported violent behavior, compared with just 2.9% of those with IQs of 120-129." stevestewartwilliams.com/p/smarter-peop…
